UNSPSC 50486425: Yellow cocktail tomato purees

The variety of tomates known as yellow cocktail tomatoes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486425 Yellow cocktail tomato purees (Commodity) is rarely solicited in state and local procurement—the recent-opportunities block shows no procurements for this specific product line. The code's name refers to a narrow food-processing commodity; actual state and local food service buying focuses on broader categories such as canned tomatoes (whole, diced, sliced, stewed, halves), fresh produce, and general grocery items supplied to schools, correctional facilities, veterans' homes, and health and human services agencies. When state and local buyers do solicit tomato-based items, they typically request larger product categories or allow multiple tomato formats (sliced, diced, stewed, whole) rather than specifying yellow cocktail varieties alone.

Recent activity under related tomato codes shows procurement concentrated among school nutrition programs, state corrections departments, and state health and human services agencies across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases at $14.30 per case historical pricing) with a February 2026 close date; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables including canned goods for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide; and multiple Georgia school districts (Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, and others) and Missouri school districts (Rockwood R-VI) issued IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive food procurement encompassing canned tomatoes, fresh produce, and related items. Bidders pursuing the broader UNSPSC families that span canned and fresh tomato products should monitor school nutrition RFPs (typically posted March through June for July fiscal-year start) and correctional-facility and state-health-agency food procurements (posted year-round with quarterly or annual cycles). The specific yellow cocktail tomato puree commodity does not appear in the recent-opportunities records and likely represents a niche product; broader tomato-based solicitations are the primary demand signal in state and local government food service procurement.
